M-4 carbines....

I know its been said already BUT...This price was too good to pass up.

This is my first AR...from China. I am hoping it will play nicely with her older American sisters who hail from Washington, Connecticut & North Carolina. At first I too was worried about getting her in past the wife, then I remembered she walked out a month ago. Things have been ever so much nicer since and I am already ordering a 2nd vault.

Quite possibly the best argument for the single life. I ordered mine last Fri, first restricted purchase and very eager to get the rifle.
 
Got the M4 today. Very satisfied with the finish. Exported by Poly Tech, not Norinco from the identification. Why nobody even Marstar say this.

Went to the local dealer before almost bought one Chinese M4 (one mag only, no Norinco mark either, may imported by another company, there is sign of 5.56/.223 under the carry handle) , but the finish is kind of ugly, ####y paint around the front sight, so gave up.

took pictures, but do not know how to post them.
 
Hey John, how much longer is this sale running?
I'm counting my pennies and I'll have enough by this Friday. Think it'll last until then?

I bought my first restricted off you about 2 summers ago (on our mutual birthday) and given the rock-bottom deal of a price you're offering, I'd like to buy my first AR from you as well.

I have a 10.5 Norinco that came from NS I think, it was made in 2013, the receivers are anodized but there was some black paint overspray around the forward assist and all over the front site and some of the barrel as well, I don't know why they used spray paint, it rubs off with WD40 and a green pot scrubbing pad and there are no imperfections under it.
 
Commercial buffer btw.

Apparently anodizing does not chip.

What is Anodizing?
Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish. Aluminum is ideally suited to anodizing, although other nonferrous metals, such as magnesium and titanium, also can be anodized.

The anodic oxide structure originates from the aluminum substrate and is composed entirely of aluminum oxide. This aluminum oxide is not applied to the surface like paint or plating, but is fully integrated with the underlying aluminum substrate, so it cannot chip or peel. It has a highly ordered, porous structure that allows for secondary processes such as coloring and sealing.

Anodizing is accomplished by immersing the aluminum into an acid electrolyte bath and passing an electric current through the medium. A cathode is mounted to the inside of the anodizing tank; the aluminum acts as an anode, so that oxygen ions are released from the electrolyte to combine with the aluminum atoms at the surface of the part being anodized. Anodizing is, therefore, a matter of highly controlled oxidation—the enhancement of a naturally occurring phenomenon.

So what is the lower treatment?

My upper has some spots showing copper rubbing, yet its got same treatment. I was told to just oil it.
